Welcome to The Truth About Alcohol. I’m Lee Davy.
This podcast is for people who know something about their drinking doesn’t quite add up — and want to understand why stopping can feel so much harder than it should.
No labels. No judgement. No “rock bottom” stories required.
We talk about what alcohol really does to the body, brain, and nervous system, why cravings and rituals are so persistent, and why willpower isn’t the issue most people think it is. You’ll hear calm, honest conversations that reduce shame, make the confusion make sense, and help you see your next step more clearly — whether you’re still drinking, trying to stop, or have stopped but don’t feel settled.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m intelligent, capable, and functional… so why can’t I just stop?” you’re in the right place.

When Drinking Doesn’t Quite Add Up
This episode is a short pause.
It’s for people who don’t think they drink “that much” — but still find themselves thinking about alcohol more than they expect to.
Nothing dramatic has happened.
No rock bottom.
No clear line crossed.
And yet, something about drinking doesn’t feel as neutral as it’s supposed to.
In this episode, we name that quiet confusion.
The mental bargaining.
The comparison with others.
The sense that stopping feels harder than it should — even when life looks fine from the outside.
There’s no advice here.
No plan.
No pressure to change anything.
Just space to recognise what’s been difficult to explain — and to realise you’re not the only one who feels this way.
